How to build a home full of Zen metal furniture

For the first time, I associate metal with Zen, which is also a case of this rural private house in Andy magazine: the frosted aluminum alloy surface reflects soft light, giving people an intriguing sense of dislocation in the scenery full of oriental elements. I wonder if this picture is Beijing or new york. East or west? Although there is no tradition of large-scale use of metal indoors in China, the scenery here is Zen-like, and the scenery of aluminum alloy cabinets has no sense of contradiction. On the contrary, it adds some layering to the material in the picture: the smoothness of the metal surface corresponds to the roughness of the rockery, the coldness of the metal corresponds to the growth of the wood, and finally the finishing touch is dotted with green branches and yellow apricots, which makes the whole picture desirable.

I wrote a case of the house of colored lights before. An antique silver kettle collected by the owner shines soft and holy in the sun. In western religious architecture, it is particularly important to create light, because it represents the trace of God.

In eastern culture, the divinity of metal is not so much the light it reflects as the image it reflects. In ancient bronze mirrors, the image of reflection is hazy, true and false. The mirror of A Dream of Red Mansions reflects beauty on the front and skeleton on the back, both of which reflect the phenomenon and essence of things. Looking at the moon in the mirror, everything is empty. At the end of the world, it was just a big dream. And the metal mirror seems to be the door to another world.

The polished metal surface forms a mirror effect. In nature, architecture reflects nature without self, and architecture becomes nature. Metal, like an enlightened fairy, quietly tells everyone the truth that "empty yourself and you are the whole universe".

The gold element in China's traditional five elements contains images of stability, coldness and convergence, which coincides with the idea of minimalism to eliminate complexity and return to its origin. The aluminum alloy material in the above picture perfectly creates a minimalist fashion studio space.

Compared with expensive brass, which is very popular in China in recent years, silver metal is more exquisite and avant-garde. Oriental space is made of cool aluminum alloy, and ancient civilization crosses into the future.

After reading the previous picture, you may find that the large-scale use of metal surfaces will make the space cold and inhuman, which is more suitable for commercial space and not suitable for residential space. Frama, a famous Danish furniture brand, is good at decorating aluminum alloy furniture in a small area in its minimalist residential space.

The Triangolo chair above is designed in 1989, and its style remains the same. Made of steel with geometric elements and minimalist lines, the price is 1050 euros.

Ferrer Charlie, a famous new york antique dealer and interior designer, also prefers to decorate the interior with small pieces of silver metal furniture. The chair used in the above works is a cast aluminum version of the work "Tonneau" by Pierre Guariche, a designer in the 1950s. As an antique, you can buy second-hand items with different old and new degrees/prices from different sellers online.

China artist Shao Fan's stainless steel round-backed armchair combines tradition and modernity, East and West. As a work of art and furniture, it can be used and collected.

Frama's family loved silver metal to decorate their home, and also developed an aluminum side table /rivetbox table. Design with strong sense of assembly: Because the aluminum material is soft, it is not easy to weld or connect with screws, so this side table adopts the traditional tenon joint technology in China to connect different groups. Each side table is about 500 euros.

Put it in a minimalist living room, which is very suitable for occasions.

Joseph Dirand, a French architect who loves minimalism, used a mirror metal coffee table in his apartment in Paris, which became the highlight of the whole space.

Silver metal is also an artifact of kitchen decoration, because it is easy to clean and seamlessly connects with white ceramic products.

Frama's rivet box can be placed horizontally and vertically, which is suitable for the dining table in the living room. The price is about 1500 euros.

Rivershelf is about 500 euros each. Can be installed on the wall of the living room or kitchen.

The villa kitchen has enough space to try the stainless steel island. Of course, please also pay attention to different materials, such as the mottled old brick wall, black wooden cabinet and shallow wooden floor in the above picture, so as to enrich the level of space materials. If you use too much stainless steel, your kitchen will look like a restaurant kitchen.

Finally, if you have enough skills, you can challenge the use of metal surfaces in a larger area of your home. For example, the space above is made of aluminum plate and becomes a wall. On the one hand, more soft light is introduced into the space (due to the left and right reflected light from metal), on the other hand, it interacts with China elements such as round windows and wooden doors in the background to create a more different Zen flavor.

The only thing I don't quite agree with is the cactus sculpture in front of the metal wall. Although color matching is very integrated with space, it gives people an image of a frozen desert and makes the space look colder and more lonely. The feeling of home should be comfortable and natural, add some green plants to restore its vitality and hope!
